After this battle, the rivers and lakes of Yangzhou were all respected by Maitreya, and the rest were vassals.

At this time, although the control area of the Maitreya Sect was still the entire Yangzhou region, in terms of prestige and prestige, it was better than when it was all in Jinling.

In particular, Fan Zhuoyuan almost single-handedly defeated the entire Jianghu forces in Yangzhou, and killed the two protectors of the Wenxiang Sect and the White Lotus Sect and more than 200 elites, which was even more famous and attracted the attention of all forces.

The news quickly spread back to the Smelling Fragrance Sect and the White Lotus Sect respectively.

The Smelling Fragrance Sect in the Northland is similar to the underworld organization established by the clan group, and Han Cangyi is obviously a more important figure in the clan.

Sect leader Han Yingbo burst into tears and held a high-profile funeral, but when someone asked when he would attack the Maitreya Sect south to avenge the deputy sect leader, Han Yingbo fell into an eerie silence.

Except for Han Yingbo's wife and daughter, no one in the entire family vigorously advocated merging with Maitreya.

On the contrary, he began to make various proposals for the position of deputy sect leader, but no matter who was proposed in the family to be the deputy sect leader, Han Yingbo was denied that the merit was not enough, and he was not enough to take on the big responsibility, which always made the position of deputy head vacant.

In fact, within the Wenxiang Sect, the biggest function of the deputy sect leader is not to fill in the gaps for the sect leader, but to check and balance the power of the sect leader, once the sect leader does not meet everyone's expectations, the deputy sect leader can be replaced at any time.

This is the sword hanging on Han Yingbo's head, and since the prestige Han Cangyi is dead, he will not easily let people hang a sword around his neck.

Unlike the Wenxiang Sect, which was caught in open and secret strife within the clan, the first thing the White Lotus Sect Leader Fang Kaicheng did when he heard that Luo Caiyi was dead, was not to cry or shout for revenge.

Instead, he suddenly gathered his cronies, ambushed the knife and axe hands, and feasted Luo Caiyi's cronies and henchmen here, and then concentrated on eliminating them!

Seeing this scene, many fellow Jianghu people were dumbfounded, and the internal struggle of the White Lotus Sect became more intense for a long time, and the Maitreya Sect was cleaned up.

Although after this fire, the White Lotus Sect lost more than half of its famous masters, there were no internal constraints, and the sect leader Fang Kaicheng was more authoritative.

There are more than 100,000 sect members all over Jiangnan and Huguang, and now there is no longer a situation where the two sects are ordered, but it has made the originally bloated White Lotus Sect more smooth and efficient.

After destroying Luo Caiyi's part of the people, Fang Kaicheng did not set his sights on Yangzhou, for him, it was enough for the Jianghuai region to keep the interests of Jinling.

Now, because of the imperial court's levy of border salaries, the people are complaining all over the country, and last year Jiangnan suffered a catastrophe.

This is a great misfortune for the people, but it is a great opportunity for the White Lotus Sect.

It was because of this that Fang Kaicheng secretly connected the White Lotus Sect organizations around the world, and it seemed that he was planning a major event that shook the world.

Fan Zhuoyuan didn't know these things, he spent a few days dealing with all aspects of the aftermath, and set out to grab the maximum benefits, after the matter was a little fruitful, Fan Zhuoyuan returned to the temporary residence in the city, and saw a prompt from the system that the task was completed.

"Mission 2: The Smelling Fragrance Sect and the White Lotus Sect are extremely sensitive to the resurgence of the Maitreya Sect, and they will definitely seek revenge again, and in order to shake the prestige, all those who dare to challenge authority must be eliminated.

Reward: 100,000 proficiency points.

Remaining proficiency points: 200,000."

Fan Zhuoyuan didn't use it directly, since he knew that the cultivation of the brain domain needed to be gradually unraveled, he estimated that each part needed to be filled with 100,000 proficiency points before the effect could appear, so he planned to accumulate enough proficiency and put it into use at one time.

His current state of practice is:

"Practicing the Exercises: Brain Domain Exploration;

Proficiency: Brainstem (000); cerebellum (000); left hemisphere (0/200000); right hemisphere (0/200000); frontal lobe (0/200000); parietal lobe (0/200000); temporal lobe (0/200000); occipital lobe (0/200000);"

If you accumulate 100,000 of each, then you still need to smash in 600,000 proficiency points, and the next task, completely controlling Jinling and Huai'an, will reward 200,000.

plus the remaining 200,000 proficiency points in his hand, it will only be 400,000 by then

There is a shortfall of 200,000.

Of these 200,000, Fan Zhuoyuan suspected that it would give another troublesome task based on the past urine of the system.

Although there is no hint now, Fan Zhuoyuan has a hidden guess.

He set his sights on the south, and through the information transmitted by Liang Tianyi, Fan Zhuoyuan knew that in order to deal with the border troubles, the imperial court had imposed border taxes in various places since the beginning of the previous year.

The court of this world is also called the Ming Dynasty, and it is very similar to the Ming Dynasty in many aspects.

Unlike the Two Song Dynasty, there was at least a large amount of commercial taxes, and agricultural taxes were collected here, and several peasant uprisings had broken out in the north, which were suppressed by the local powerful alliance with the imperial court.

Although the situation in the south is a little better, it is difficult not to cause a popular uprising if it is provoked by well-intentioned people.

Fan Zhuoyuan still remembered that when Qin Baichuan came to find him before, he had said that the White Lotus Sect had gathered hundreds of thousands of people in the south.

With so many sect members, although they can earn a lot of money by collecting teaching fees, if they completely ignore the ideas of their sect members, then it will be a matter of time before they betray their relatives and leave.

What's more, with so many men and horses under his command and a lot of territory controlled, it is inevitable that some ambitions will arise as a superior.

Qin Baichuan mentioned that the White Lotus Sect seems to have the idea of rebellion, intending to divide Jiangnan and Huguang.

If the White Lotus Sect really rebelled, I am afraid that Qin Baichuan's life in the Seven Star Tower would be extremely difficult.

Don't think about it, a group of bitter haha suddenly rioted, then the local heroes must be eager to eat meat and bed, and Qin Baichuan is the biggest landlord in the south of the Yangtze River!

It was no wonder that when he saw someone who was hostile to the White Lotus Sect, he went to the door to make friends with Fan Zhuoyuan.

Fan Zhuoyuan smiled, he was not very familiar with the situation in this world, and he didn't know Qin Baichuan, let alone that he was the head of Wudang.

Although this person has scheming, he still wrote down this favor.

If you guess correctly, it is likely that after taking control of Jinling and Huai'an, the task sent down is to fight against the White Lotus Sect and rebel!

For this reason, Fan Zhuoyuan thought that he should prepare early, if it was a rebellion of hundreds of thousands of people, then he could not deal with it with ordinary means, but should use the art of war to confront.

Therefore, it is quite necessary to take this opportunity to train a private soldier who is not used to compete for power in the rivers and lakes, but is used to guard the place.

Anyway, today's imperial court has basically ceded all the authority in areas outside the county seat to the local gentry and power.

No one can control what Fan Zhuoyuan wants to do in his control area, and he will not pin his hopes on those military households who can't even eat enough and live like slaves.

Now the power of the entire Yangzhou Mansion belongs to Fan Zhuoyuan, and Yangzhou is such a rich place, and its economic status in this world is comparable to that of the magic capital of later generations.
